• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5F307 - The total of distribution percentages does not amount to 100%. ?

  The SAP error message 5F307 indicates that the total of distribution percentages in a particular transaction does not add up to 100%. This error typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to distribute costs or revenues across multiple cost centers, profit centers, or other entities, and the system requires that the total distribution percentages equal 100% for the transaction to be valid.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Distribution Percentages: The most common cause is that the sum of the distribution percentages entered does not equal 100%. For example, if you have three cost centers with distribution percentages of 40%, 30%, and 20%, the total is only 90%, which triggers this error.
  Missing Entries: If you have not entered a percentage for one or more distribution lines, the total will not reach 100%.
  Rounding Issues: Sometimes, rounding errors can lead to a situation where the total is very close to 100% but not exactly, causing the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Distribution Percentages: Review the distribution percentages you have entered. Ensure that they add up to exactly 100%. You can do this by manually calculating the total or using a calculator.
  Adjust Percentages: If the total is less than 100%, adjust the percentages accordingly. If it exceeds 100%, reduce the percentages to ensure they total 100%.
  Add Missing Entries: If you have omitted any entries, add the necessary percentages to ensure the total reaches 100%.
  Review Rounding: If you suspect rounding issues, consider adjusting the percentages slightly to ensure they total 100% without exceeding it.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Types: This error can occur in various transactions, such as cost allocations, internal orders, or profit center accounting.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for specific transaction codes and detailed guidelines on how to enter distribution percentages correctly.
